Atmosphere was cute, the service was drawn out, and took 53 minutes from ordering to serving, to get our food. The food was a fancy with exotic fruit. We watched 4 couples walk out during our wait. If you're not in a hurry and want to sip mimosas for a hour, this is your place. Don't plan on coming if you have a timeclock job. I highly recommend the servers being more prompt.

Please seems cool, server was very nice! But you have a better chance of training to make the lugnuts baseball team and completing spring tryouts before getting any food from this place. We waited 2 hours and STILL never even got our food, we ended up getting gift cards for a return. Others were in the same boat, I understand understaffing but a little heads up is ideal if going to take 1.5/2 hours + to get people food. Maybe try again if some changes are made.

Batter Up Bistro has a beautiful interior with a well-thought-out design and cozy atmosphere. We arrived close to closing time, and they mentioned that a large group had been there earlier, so they were out of some menu items, especially bread. While the food was flavorful, the potatoes weren’t fully cooked, and the heavy use of butter made everything feel overly greasy.
Another downside was the lack of service after our food arrived—no one came to check on us to see if everything was okay or if we needed anything. With better service and attention to food consistency, this place could be much better.

Food was excellent! We appreciated the all organic and fresh artisan bread. Service was so kind during a very busy Sunday brunch. Charming, old world mixed with modern aesthetic. Impressed and will be returning.
Kid-friendliness: Very much appreciated their kindness toward our two year old. Plenty of crayons and three plus pages of coloring books.
Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, everything in one level and independent bathroom very large.
Excellent gourmet food and drinks, and very pleasant, quiet atmosphere with no sports playing on TV monitors!

Food, atmosphere and service were good. But we waited an hour for our food. While we were there the owner left twice and both times returned with at least 4-6 bags of groceries from the Meijer across the street. Won't go back due to the ridiculously loing wait with no explanation. Eggs and bacon don't take over an hour to prepare.

Really cool atmosphere, I went at dinner time and it gave a sophisticated, relaxed, reading/sipping wine vibe. Really good for a late dinner or drinks in a casual but classy environment. Dinner menu is very small and food was average but I think they are more of a breakfast spot!

Love the atmosphere and food! This was my fourth time going to Batter Up Bistro to eat. The first time was truly amazing! The last three times they have run out of food and drinks ( Bloody Mary’s) despite the fact that their brunch menu indicates food and service from 9am until 3pm. Because of this, I have only actually eaten there 2 out of 4 times. I see an unfavorable pattern for customers.

I love this place!! My son took me here for a late breakfast. Menu is limited; the food 😋 is delish. We were served by a very nice young lady by the name of Dulce. There is a full bar as well. The drinks are good but expensive. I had a breakfast sandwich that was the best egg sandwich I've ever had. My son had Eggs Benedict and loved them. The ceiling is the old railway ceiling. Architecture old and stunning. Excellent Chef
What a unique little spot. Food and cocktails were excellent. Service was great. Atmosphere was outstanding.

Had a reservation for 10 people (out of town) and confirmed. Showed up at the restaurant and was told we had to wait for table. Sat at the bar and was ignored to make a drink order. Had to ask for drink service and then told they were out of the alcohol needed to make the drink. Asked about getting seated after 15 minutes and was ignored. Finally got some drinks ordered but no compensation. Ended up leaving after 30 minutes without honoring reservations or offering to order food at the bar. Went down the street to another place. Total disappointment.

Visited for lunch today with a coworker. There was another party of two when we arrived, so not busy. The lunch menu is limited. One page of food items but 3-4 pages for various drinks (lattes, cocktails, smoothies…). There was only one soup and I assume it’s a bowl portion at $9. My friend ordered a salad and I ordered the chicken salad sandwich. She said her salad was good. It was big and looked very fresh. My sandwich was huge and delicious. Sadly, the entire experience took 1.5 hours. Prior to our departure, 3 other diners arrived, but there were never more than 5 people at once between 11:30-1 on a Friday. The wait time for basic food could be problematic for business diners, but thankfully it was a light work day for us. Ambiance is lovely and the waiter was attentive, just was a long experience overall. My sandwich came with chips and was $16, but I ate half due to how big it was, and for the quality, I’d get it again. Our mutual wish (which we shared with the server) was for another soup selection or two, and combo options for soup/sandwich/salad two pick. I want to see this place succeed and would like to visit for dinner or brunch when I expect to take my time over a leisurely experience.
